Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Windshield wipers have been standing straight up when in an off position for 6 or 7 years. found the campaign and then the recall and tried to get a remedy from the on several occasions as well as gm ,to no avail..i was made to buy a motor for the windshield wipers and that worked for a little while. then last summer or fall i went back to the dealer because now the issue looked to be a recall, and they told me there was, but not for my vin#, and i was made to pay $70 for the adjustment..it is now not working again ,and i am very frustrated. it is a 1997 buick century. i have to keep the windshield wipers on in the delay mode all the time, rain or shine in order to not have them stand straight up and block my vision..i feel this is dangerous, but that the dealer and gm will not take responsibility because i found the information on my progressive car insurance site. they always bring up recalls for your cars. *ak
